Abstract: A mailbox protection system that deflects debris away from striking a mailbox that is attached to a bottom area of a mailbox post to reduce a moment of force on the post. A deflection assembly is held in place utilizing a cantilevered structural mounting assembly. The deflection assembly is physically separated from a proximate mailbox that the deflection assembly is configured to protect. The mailbox protection system minimizes or reduces the moment of a force causes by debris striking the deflection assembly.

Abstract: A plant watering system for providing water to any type of plant as the water is needed by the plant and which is interconnected to any standard water supply includes a water reservoir placed about ten inches from the plant's root system having an internal float system for regulating the amount of water contained within the water reservoir and the reservoir having a downwardly projecting discharge tube completely buried in the soil and the discharge tube having an aperture at its lower end through which water is automatically dispersed for permeation through the soil to the root system controlled and regulated by the float system whereby the float system keeps the reservoir full without wasting water.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for marking a battery as charged or uncharged, comprising a manually changeable label attached to a battery in a pocket region defined about a battery positive contact button, wherein the label may be changed by a user to indicate either charged or uncharged battery status.

Abstract: An electrical device such as an outlet receptacle or a signal cable receptacle are mounted in a recessed relationship to a wall to allow a flat cover plate to be removably applied, thereby to create an aesthetic appearance concealing the device and to protect it from abuse when the electrical device is not in use, especially abuse caused by children inserting foreign objects into the device. One result of this invention is added safety from electrical shock hazzard from plugs that are partially inserted into an electrical outlet housed in the apparatus of this invention. Additionally, the concealment and protecting features of the flat cover plate used in this invention can be extended to flush-mounted electrical devices.

Abstract: A fuel supply system including a probe device mounted in an outlet passage of a filter head and having probe elements extending into a filter unit which is removably engaged with the head, circuitry in the device responsive to contact with water in the filter to complete a circuit and actuate a signal to indicate the presence of such water, all the foregoing being of importance in the use of fuel filters in fuel lines for handling various fuels.
